About
Klein
Electric Inc

A family business rooted in Santa Barbara. We combine a visual, physical, and organic understanding of light with design, technology, and a deep respect for the spaces people call home.

There is an increasing understanding of the importance of good lighting design in homes, buildings, interiors, and landscapes.

Light is fundamental to architecture and essential for human well-being. Its quality affects behavior, comfort, health, efficiency, safety, and security.

Our approach to light and light planning is a combination of visual, physical, and organic experience applied to design, technology, and health — creating spaces that feel right at every hour of the day.

Klein Electric Inc is a family operation. Three brothers — each bringing their own expertise — working together to deliver exceptional electrical and lighting work across Southern California. That shared commitment to quality runs through everything we do.

Reviewing plans on site

Every project starts long before the first wire is run. We review plans, walk the site, and coordinate with architects and general contractors to ensure nothing is left to chance — so that when we show up, we're ready to execute.

These aren't just words on a wall — they're the commitments behind every estimate, every installation, and every follow-up call.

01

Precision

Every wire, every fixture, every switch placement is considered. We plan meticulously and execute with care, because the difference between good and exceptional is in the details.

02

Integrity

We provide honest assessments, clear pricing, and transparent timelines. No hidden costs, no shortcuts, and no work we wouldn't be proud to put our name on.

03

Partnership

We listen before we act. We collaborate closely with architects, designers, and homeowners to understand the vision — then bring the expertise to make it real.

What our clients say

Julien completely transformed the feel of our home. The lighting design he proposed was something we never would have imagined ourselves, and now we can't imagine it any other way.

Sarah & Mark T.

Klein Electric Inc handled our entire new construction electrical from rough-in to final trim. Professional, communicative, and the quality of the work speaks for itself.

D. Harrison

Santa Barbara, CA

We've used this team on three projects now. They're the only electricians I trust to get it right the first time, especially on complex lighting systems.
